What has Arafat brought the Palestinians other than war, pain, and death?
…
RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat said on Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had offered nothing “tangible” to the Palestinians at a U.S.-led summit in Jordan.
Arafat said Sharon’s pledge to uproot some settler outposts in the West Bank under a U.S.-backed peace “road map” did not represent a significant concession by Sharon.
“Unfortunately he has not yet offered anything tangible,” Arafat told reporters at his battered West Bank compound. Arafat was frozen out of the summit at U.S. and Israeli insistence. The Palestinian delegation was led by reformist Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.
